Abstract
A supply carrier for removable insertion into a tool case includes a plurality of trays. The trays are generally identical in shape and dimensions. Each tray includes a generally rectangular base and an upstanding flange which includes at least a first side wall and a second side wall spaced from and generally parallel to the first side wall. The trays are connected by a pair of link members pivotally attached to the first side walls and a generally identical pair of link members pivotally attached to the second side walls. The trays are pivotable between a first position of vertical alignment, a second position of supported offset arrangement and a third position of supported horizontal alignment.
